Melissa Bickford’s very first stamp set with us was entitled Women of Life and was immediately a best seller. Everyone loved the way that all the women they celebrated in their lives were included, and also interchangeable with all of the different sentiments. Men of Life is a highly anticipated addition to the original set, including masculine titles and even more sentiments that can be interchanged between BOTH sets! Talk about versatility!
……………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Many of the design elements within Melissa’s set spoke so strongly to me that we asked her design a patterned paper collection to compliment it! I’ll never forget the day I saw the files for the first time! It was truly love at first sight! The color combos, the bold patterns. I can see so many uses for them!
……………………………………………………………………………….
So for my project today, I thought I would marry the two and create a fun project that could be used for a new male addition to the family! I knew I wanted to do something a bit different with my kraft card base, so I cut a wave edge to the front cover. The interior of the card is lined with one of Melissa’s new papers. Just divine!!!
……………………………………………………………………………….
I wanted to create some pop to define the wave edge, so I cut a piece of red cardstock, inserted it in the card and traced the edge of the card front with pencil.
……………………………………………………………………………….
I was then able to remove the red cardstock and cut along the line with some pinking scissors.
………………………………………………………………………………
When the red cardstock was adhered as a lining on the back of the cover, the edges lined up perfectly!
………………………………………………………………………………
Included in the new Men of Life set are many bits & pieces to allow you to do your very own boat building! Fun stuff! I used the sail outline image, heat embossed with white embossing powder onto spring rain cardstock (more about that later this week!). The boat base was stamped in dark chocolate ink onto kraft cardstock. All of which were cut out and matted with a white circle. A bitty red flag was cut from red cardstock as a finishing touch.
……………………………………………………………………………..
Here’s the completed card. I love the pops of red paired with the light blue. They are just such a great color combo. I know I’ll be turning to it more in the future. Notice the rule of three? The pinked edge, the flag on the sailboat and the Nephew block are my three color pops, creating a visual triangle for the eye to follow around the card.
…………………………………………………………………………….
A new nephew cannot be welcomed into the world without a few little gifts! I found this great white metal pail at Hobby Lobby for $3 (you can click on the photo for a larger view). It is the perfect size to hold a few small gifts and can easily be reused. I embellished it with a monogram letter cut from another one of Melissa’s new papers. Notice the special tag on the pail? Just a little three-dimensional tag that I’m pretty darn excited about!
…………………………………………………………………………….
Download boat_base_template.pdf
Here is the template for you to create your very own boats! As many as you like in any color you desire! The boat bases I designed are perfectly scaled to coordinate with all of the different sails that Melissa included in Men of Life!
…………………………………………………………………………….
After cutting on the solid lines and scoring the dotted lines with my Scor-Pal, I applied pieces of Scor-Tape in appropriate areas, leaving the paper backing in place until it was time to assemble. Have you tried Scor-Tape yet? It is THE best adhesive for 3D projects. I use nothing else. It works just as well as red line/Tacky Tape but is half the price. We will be starting out with my two favorite widths, 1/4-inch (27 yards for $5! That’s 19-cents a yard!) and 1/2-inch (27 yards for $7! Only 26-cents a yard!).
……………………………………………………………………………..
You also want to put to small pieces of tape on these two tabs on the reverse side.
………………………………………………………………………………………..
To begin assemble, you want to adhere the two side tabs to the interior of the boat base.
……………………………………………………………………………………….
Then the front end is adhered together.
………………………………………………………………………………………..
Finally, the two large side tabs are folded in and adhered. This step is a bit tight. You will want to use a stylus to help get the corners of the sides all the way in at the points. You want this tight fit because it helps reinforce the sides and adds strength to the structure.
…………………………………………………………………………………………
The sail is adhered to a lollipop stick (you can get a package of 50 for just a dollar or two). I had to cut it down a bit to get the height I wanted. I used a hot glue gun to adhere the mast to the inside of the boat bottom.
………………………………………………………………………………………..
I threaded a button with twine and adhered it to the top of the mast with a glue dot, leaving extra long ends to form my hanging loop.
……………………………………………………………………………………….
So there you have it! The little name strip was created with the Simple Alphabet; it’s a perfect fit! Now you may be thinking that this set is cute and all, but how often am I going to make projects for little boys? What about all of the older men that this set is intended to cover? Be sure to read onto the next post to see what else I’ve cooked up for you!

Anette (snowmom13)
Wow! The new stamp set and paper is just wonderful. I actually just welcomed my new nephew into the world and I can’t wait to make a similar gift for him. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Wow! This set is pretty darn AWESOME! I wanna see more…LOL!
This is just so cute. I always have trouble creating a masculine card! Having the male sentiments would be great.
Nicole, you never cease to amaze me! These two cards and gift projects are just the right touch for the men in our lives. I will be taking out the set from the cruise tomorrow and using these ideas just in time for my Dad’s November birthday. Thank you, thank you!
I love what I have seen of the set so far and I really love the clean nautical colors of the patterned paper. Stamps suitable for mens and boys cards are scarce most stamp companies tend to do feminine images. Love the little boat thanks for the pattern. Anxiously awaiting the reveals this week. Ann Lind
I am loving this countdown as much as every other! PTI never ceases to amaze me with their releases; I love getting up and checking your blog for the latest peek each day!
Very cool ideas! I love the wavy edge with the red “ric-rac”. The embossing powder you used looks like it gives nice clean lines. Is it a particular brand and something we will be able to get during this months release?
Most of all the set looks like it has a ton of possibilities. I love that boat!
I love the new product. How exciting!
Wow, this set looks awesome. Loved what you did with it Nichole and the paper looks like it will be fun to play with too. Can’t wait to hear more about that blue cardstock!!

Oh, I just love the samples, thanks. It’s great the way you can use the same stamps to get 2 such different cards. Thanks for the chance to win.
This is just perfect. I cannot wait to add this to my women of life set!!!!
Oh my goodness, that boat is the cutest thing I’ve seen since…well, since last month, lol. I was in Clarksville last week and went to MIB and got to oogle (and touch) all the projects in real life…so fun!
Oh, I’m so excited to see Melissa’s new set! I can tell this release is going to be one of my favorites! I have 3 boys and it’s always hard to find stamps to use for birthdays, etc.. This will be perfect!! Thank you!

Now that is just the cutest little boat I’ve ever seen. It made me think of my grandfather who spent so much of his life fishing in a little boat like that. I also love the color combination of the new paper, so I’m trying really hard not to wish away the days remaining until the 15th. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve been waiting for a set like this for soooo long. My husband and our circle of friends are all sailors. now I have a set to play with. And matching paper!! too much!
Love, love the boat bottom. adorable.
Thanks so much.
Love it!! I’m always at a loss for what to do with masculine cards, and it seems like there aren’t many options out there. I’m so excited to get this and try it out – but thanks for giving me a chance to win it!!
I love it. I love the colours in the patterned papers and the sweet little sailboat….This set looks like it could be used for mean of all ages…love that!
Love the colors of the new paper and the set is a must have!
I love the color combination of light blue & red – one of my favorite things to wear in cold weather is my blue oxford blouse & my red sweater.
To combine these to colors w/kraft paper is very eye-catching.
Again, I am in awe of the things that are created for PTI reveals. Way to kick off the countdown! I am eager for more!
Men of Life is so cute! I wish I new someone having a baby right now! Thanks so much.
Love the patterned paper and the boat is too cute!
I’m so glad to see a ‘male set’ – these are the hardest cards to make. Love the paper and can’t wait to see the rest of the stamp set. This always seems like the longest part of the month — just waiting for the 15th.
I LOVE it!!!!! This is one paper I wish came in 12×12~!!!!!! Love love love it!
Absolutely adorable job, Nichole! I love the sailboat! The images in the set so far look like they would be a great addition to my PAPERTREY “stash”! Nice job ladies!!

The new Men of Life set, as well as the Men of Life DP are PERFECT! I love my Women of Life set, and use it often. I can totally see myself using the Men of Life set on a regular basis, especially since I only have one other masculine set – Father Knows Best. I hope I win it!
This stamp set is too cute! I can’t wait to see the rest of the release!
That 3D sailboat is amazing! And I’m LOVING the patterned paper.
Adorable gift set! I am loving the new stamp set and all of the projects done with it so far, can’t wait to see the whole set on the 14th!
Living in a house of boys this will be great! Thank you!
I find it so hard to make cards for guys that don’t look too feminine. This set already looks so versatile..baby boys and big boys!
Carla
It’s so hard sometimes to find colors and patterns that suit men or boys. This set and paper line are sure to help fill that void! That boat tag is TOO cute!
I too love the little sailboat tag and the rest of the whole gift package is just adorable. Your card is stunning as well and perfect for a brand new baby boy! As every month, I can’t wait to see the release of everything!
I absolutely adore the new sets. I have a brand new nephew still at the NICU right now, so creating something with these sets would be just perfect!!
I can’t believe that you made a template for a 3-D sailboat and shared it with us!!! You are so amazing! This set is a must-have. Thanks for the great ideas. 🙂
Love the new set! Would love to win it. You do amazing work with your cards and projects…they are always just a cut above everything else I see. And I got to see some of them up close and personal at Memories In Bloom not long ago. What fun to see all PTI sets and to be able to pick them up and look at all of them! The ocean tides, kraft, chocolate, cream…OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH YUM!!!
With so many wonderful men in my life this set is a must have. The little boat is amazing! Thanks for sharing the template. 🙂
Oh, my father is a sailor — he would so appreciate this. Yesterday I got into a fight with him on the phone, and I can’t get him out of my mind. An apology with a nice card would work… sigh. Hope I win!
BRAVO! It is so hard to find quality images to create masculine cards. This set is going to be perfect, I an eager to see the rest of it.
that has to be the cutest boat in the world. can’t wait to see the whole set. you guys are so fabulous!
I love the colors used in the DP. Gorgeous patterns too. That little boat tag is adorable.
Absolutely love the ideas. I think masculine cards have always been the hardest to make, but you make it look easy!
I just love this little boat! and the wavy sea on the card is just so clever! what a fun versatile ‘man’ set this is!!
I love your monthly countdowns and always look forward to them. This men’s set is a great idea, it is always difficult to make cards for men. I love the sail boat it is just to cute!
Marla
Yes! The world needs more masculine stamps! I love that the sentiments match Women of Life! Do you know how hard it is to find Grandpa stamps??? I love the boat template! It’s day 1 and the countdown is fabulous already!
“Man Cards” are always the hardest for me to create. Thanks so much for the wonderful addition to solving that problem. Love the set and paper!
Love the crisp and fresh look of the “manly” Men of Life set so far. Looks like it will be a must have set for sure!
What a great gift set! I love the little sailboat tag – too clever and cute! :o) thanks for the chance!

(Keep me out of the running for the drawing, please…one win is enough for this girl!) Hugs, Betsy
I am so glad there is more any age male stamps available now. Thank you Nichole for the rule of 3 tip from your card. Always, always learning new things.

This looks like another must have set. I love the Women of Life and am looking forward to the Men’s version! Way to go Melissa!

I can’t wait to see the rest of this set. She did a great job on Women of Life and I am always needing a masculine set. Thanks for the opportunity to win!!!
I absolutely love the card, grandpa’s, too!!! Amazing what just the right colors and patterns can do to change up an image. These are just so lovely and I adore the script used in the sentiments! Thank you for the pattern for that cute little boat – a real winner! Wouldn’t it look cute on a little boy’s birthday cake 🙂
That set is so exciting and wonderful. I would LOVE to own that set to make things for the men in my life.
Nichole – I love the set and the paper coordinates so perfectly. Thank you for the awesome template and idea. I can’t wait to see the rest of the stamp set!

I love these colors together, and this set is just perfect. I love the designs and patterns, plus the versatility of the sentiments. Great job!
Oh, my gosh! That is the cutest little gift for a little baby boy! So cute!
I love how the patterned paper and the set is so versatile for little ones and bigger ones!
Men of Life is an absolute *must have*! I don’t have nearly enough sets for males and can’t wait to see the whole set! I love the Out of the Box previews from Lisa and the day 5 preview really has me anxious, as I have Polka Dot Basics already! Thanks so much for the sailboat template–I love the 3 dimensional aspects for tags and cards!
Fun, fun! I will love having some “male” stamps. This is sure to be a great release.
Lovin’ it.
That little boat is so incredibly cute I had to coo at my screen. Pretty silly me. But its all just so wonderful. Thanks Nichole.

Oh wow! Love that adorable sailboat! Can’t wait to get this set and paper! Love the template you provided! It will come in handy for sure! Thanks! Monica J.
I think that masculine cards are the hardest cards to make. Mainly because there are not enough stamps about “guys”. I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of the Men of Life set as well as other new releases! I just love how the sailboat was used for a younger “guy” as well as grandpa! Thanks!
This set is AWESOME!! I am always looking for guy stamp sets. They seem to get forgotten in all the other cutesy sets. I absolutately love the paper!
Love the colors and patterns in the paper! And the boat is adorable! Can’t wait to see the whole set!
Wow!! I love Melissa’s new stamp set I am always looking for guy sets, they seem to get forgotten among all the cutesy stamp sets. I just love creating things for the guys in my live.

I can’t wait to see the rest of this set. The patterned paper is gorgeous – I love how the red pops off the colors. Great job Melissa!
Those paper patterns are absolutely awesome, and I love that little boat. You are both amazing! P.S. I love the new paper color and the VV ribbon – yippee!

Wow, i love this new set and dp! I have women of life and am excited to be able to add men of life to my collection too. Thanks for the chance to win.

What a great set! There is such a gap in the market for masculine stamps and sentiments – and those new papers look fantastic!
Oh, what perfect timing….I am expecting a third grandson this month and I can’t wait to make a sailboat tag for little Theo’s first gift from his Nana. It’s so adorable. Thank you, thank you!
Gorgeous set — what a great project! I can’t wait to see the rest of the images!!

What a wonderful inspiration!!!! The boat, colours, everything is just beautiful and I can imagine it will be very versatile. I think this will be a definite winner.

How cute are those boats!! I am so excited to see what the rest of the week brings!

Wow! I am blown away by your creativity! I love the color combo you used on the card, and the little boat tag is to die for.
Thanks for sharing your ideas!

This is a very nice set. I can’t wait to see the entire set. And thanks for the little boat template. I’m going to see if I can make it look like a little motor boat instead of a sail boat since my Dad has a motor boat.
Valerie

Love it. I can see this set going a long way to solving my “what-do-you-do-for-a-man?” cards problems. Thanks for the inspiration ! XX
I have 3 girls and 1 little boy and am always so excited for “boy” stamp sets and patterned paper. I love the boat theme!
This set will be so useful – it’s always a struggle to come up with ideas for masculine cards, but with these stamps & papers I can see it would be a lot easier!
This is just so cute. I love those colors together, such a nice pop! Plus my son’s name is Noah so the project looks even cuter to me! ;-)♥ And who doesn’t like sailboats?… 😛

That sailboat is just the cutest tag I have seen in a long long time. It is perfect for the guys in our lives. I am anxious to see more of the new blue cardstock as well. I have been looking for a good soft blue for baby boys.
Just adorable!
Oh my gosh – This is just so cute! I love the colors and the beautiful simplicity of the sailboat! Can’t wait to see more!
I am in love! With a stamp set! And the paper- wow! Melissa has really outdone herself on this one. Nichole- this project is so darn cute (& clever)! I can’t wait until the 15th!!
These are absolutely fabulous. I love the colours and patterns of the papers and the set looks awesome too.
I always look forward to “this time of the month” = it is so exciting to see great creative minds at work! Keep it comin!
i love the shape and look of the sails on the boat. we always need more ideas for manly cards! can’t wait to see the whole set.
I think that its great there will be another masculine stamp set from Papertrey. Its always so easy to make a card for a female, so I really think this set will be perfect and fill the need for my masculine cards
I LOVE this set! It’s adorable! I am also loving that “Spring Rain” that I see, gorgeous!
love love the sailboat; thanks for the template!

SO very cute. The little sailboat is adorable and the papers and matching stamp… well, PaperTrey always provides us with amazing things!!

This is sooo cute 🙂 My aunt is having a baby boy, I think I am going to have to whip something up for her. What a great idea!!!
This is so cool! I love the preview and that little boat is too cute.
I can’t wait to see the whole set!
Love, love the paper and stamp set. My husband loves sailing! How appropriate! Thanks for sharing.
I just L-O-V-E all of your creations!!! I am always blown away!! Everything beautiful, thank you so much for sharing all of these precious ideas!! You are wonderful, lol!!!!
Quick question: did you paper pierced the wave on the boat card and then used the white pen? It’s just the piercing seems soooo perfect that I wonder if it was by hand… Thank you so very much!!!
Wow, your projects just blow me away. My husband had a boat business for 10+ years so I know this set will be a must have. Love those papers and tags.
Oh my goodness – this is so darling!

Wow! Beautiful project. I love your sailboat template- SO creative!
I love this card! You did such a wonderful job and I love the new papers. Thank you for a chance to win!!!
Wow. I hope to look at papers and stamp sets and see a finished project like these soon LOL I am starting to find new ways to use my stamps instead of just embossing powders on a flat card!
My Dad works on Hinkley Yachts and he would LOVE a card with a boat on it…let alone that 3-D tag! WOW! Yeah no lie, would DIE if I won this!!!
Thanks!
SUPER cute!!! I can’t wait to see the whole set!
Can’t wait to see all of the sentiments that go with this set!
I have 3 boys. This would be perfect!
Absolutely adorable! I love my Women of Life set and know I’ll love Men of Life too!!!!
Thank you so much for the chance to win…
I can’t wait to see the rest of this set. I’m lovin’ the sailboats. My son’s room is decorated in a sailboat theme! The card is adorable. I love red and light blue together.
I have lots of men/boys in my family and making cards for them can be challenging. This looks like a set I can definitely use. Thanks for the inspiration, and for the opportunity to win a set.
Love the cute sailboat and how versatile the seems to be! 🙂 I love your monthly countdowns…so much fun!
Masculine cards are so hard to make, that is for sure. A set with sentiments suitable for the “boys” something that is really needed. Can’t wait to see more.
The countdown is awesome. I love to have something to look forward to, and watching for the previews is fun. The new set seems to be very cute, I con’t wait to see it all.

Masculine cards are the hardest to do – for me anyways, and this set appears to make it a little bit easier! Thank you!
that is the cutest sailboat I’ve ever seen!!! can’t wait to see the rest of the set.
I never seem to have just the right images or sentiments for the “men in my life”…now I will!
I am really excited about the Spring Rain cardstock! Really like this color with the Pure Poppy!
I think this would be great for men that like to fish! I am always on the look-out for stamps that work for men, I’m do happy this one will work for all ages.
i love this set!! i have 2 boys + my hubs so i can see many possibilities for this set. thanks once again for the inspiration!! >”<
I love what I’ve seen so far!! So happy to see a blue color! 🙂 Can’t wait to see the rest of Melissa’s set and the pattern paper looks fabulous!
Love the peeks! Can’t wait. What are the other pieces in “men of Life”…LOVE the boats! PTI rocks it again!
That boat theme gift set is so sweet. I love your use of the soft blue with 3 pops of red, too!
Genius! Pure genius. Love the tag! I can’t wait for this release.

Being an Active Duty NAVY family means we must automatically love ANCHORS and anything Nautical, Being an avid stamper means I can never have enough stamps, ESPECIALLY Masculine. Thanks for helping us all fill that void.
A nice new set to spend my money on. Cant wait to see the full set
What a great set! I can think of so many uses! The new paper is beautiful as is the Spring Rain! Thanks for a chance to win!
What a nice set this will be for “guy” cards. Thanks for the chance to win and have a beautiful day!
From the sneak peeks, this set would be a great addition to any stampers collection. Looking forward to the 15th!
This looks like a great set! I’m always in need of more “man card” sets. The paper looks fantastic, too! Great for baby cards…
This is a nice versatile stamp for both males and females. I like how you can build your own boat!
What a great new set. I love that it gives the same versitility as women of life!
It’s a good life!

Absolutely LUVVV this set! What caught my eye on the little boat was one of my grandson’s names, Noah. Made me start thinking of the ornaments I want to make for our 10 grandchildren! Six boys, and three girls! I see lots of boats on the tree this year. Thanks!
